So this is a little off topic and a long shot but who has Destiny on Xbox One and might be up for doing a Raid on Saturday night? I have a friend and I who want to do one but thought I would check here first before going to the regular thread. Also I have never actually done a Raid which is why I'm trying to find people who want to do one. Once again, probably a long shot but I though I would throw it out there.
Also on topic: Cleary, Leafs Suck, Larkin is God, Queens, Cleary, etc....

I bought Destiny and never played it, so maybe me?
in the context that you're a cup contender, yeah maybe you're right... then again I think a guy like Niemi is the type of goalie who can be okay with a strong defense in front of him, somewhat like Crawford
look we'll give you Emelin if you want
please take Emelin

And how can I leave out a classic Corey Perry Bait 'n Switch?
And of course, not content with replacing a piece of plexiglass with plywood, even more bullshit from the Staples Center last night:
Can we dream of Auston Matthews now?

Never played the Raid or Destiny?

Well, neither. I got past the tutorial area. Always thought I'd go back to it, never did.
dreams are all we have, my friend

I was mocking you. Stockholm is denser than Vancouver.

Looks like the Nylander/Brown combination could turn into something someday.
I believe I would be forced to heckle this man for the duration of the game. I mean, they left me with no other alternative.
I supported the move to the Barclays, and still think it needed to be done. I just don't understand how they couldn't sacrifice some seating to accommodate the product that already needed to be retrofitted in.

That's where they live, and where their practice facility is located.

Feels like in the last...what, three years? There would have been some adjustments made to properly relocate. It's not a terrible distance, but enough that you could have embraced their new home.

This arena is such a shitshow... I wonder how bad a layout blunder would have to be before the league would have some kind of recourse.

25 year lease..
Not only is Barclays ridiculous for hockey...
The players have to commute from Long Island on the fucking train
This is from a year or two ago, I'm pretty sure. At least, they did the same thing as well when they had to go to the arena from Long Island. Presumably, they've had time to move closer now.
Edit: Yep, September 12, 2013 specifically.

Leafs should pick up Paajarvi.

Then the only way to do the raid is to actually get up to a high enough level then, which might take a while unfortunately.
I had such high hopes for Paajarvi when he was drafted. A shame he could never get it together.

Should the Habs trade Tinordi?
So the league obviously didn't have any input for this Barclay place. Sounds like a disaster.
The new arena in Edmonton is coming along just fine. Surprisingly, they're on time and on budget. One concern was getting the roof on before winter, but it's all done and they're working on the interior now.
The sight lines are good. They have a seat sampler set up for anybody who wants to try the seats from different sections. Apparently the upper deck is steep. I mean REALLY steep where you're right over the guy in front of you. A concern is that a drunk patron could easily fall into the row in front.
Here's the nice part. Some seats are actually going to be cheaper than similar sections of Rexall. A bigger arena means cheaper tickets. Rexall is such a dump. Good riddance.
So the new castle for King McDavid is coming along fine. His majesty will be quite happy leading Oil Country into the new dynasty.

I remember when some leafs fans wanted him over Nazem the Dream in the '09 draft
Good times.
Because Barclays Center was built without knowing the Islanders were moving in there.
The Isles were still toying with the Lighthouse Project at the time. Moving to Brooklyn was basically a last resort, since Nassau Coliseum was in bad shape and the Lighthouse Project didn't materialize.
I love it. I want it to happen to constantly remind Samyy that he didn't believe in Connor Brown!
It will end when he finally has enough and hits me with a steel chair right across my back.

Finally got Splatoon. Add me: socialcocoon
Nice!

of course, he's terrible

He could probably play.. but they're going to give Griffin Reinhart a go.
Nurse still needs to calm his game down, imo.

Matheson will probably be 1st on the defensive call ups, kid is legit though and should up with Ekblad pretty quickly. Booth is decent but there are kids there that are ready and better.

I think Pacioretty should wait until opening day to come back and not play on Thursday. But that healing factor though.
Update, Leafs road radio crew will be traveling to road games again. Nothing to see here.
Apparently Bell and Rogers are footing the bill. Not too surprising since the radio broadcasts are split between 1050 and 590.
I thought they were grounded for ONE game. I read Coldnoodle's post again and saw "games".
Why were they grounded to begin with? Does it have anything to do with Babcock not allowing the media to travel with the team on the same bus/plane? I know Joe flew with the team last year.
Sale or something?
Lou said no more media on the team charters. That's about it.

Really?
That's quite a reaction! I guess the org does feel that the media has become a problem for the team.
